The American Dream
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Emitt Rhodes was a power pop virtuoso who briefly burned bright on AandM Records in the early 1970s before largely vanishing from the music world. The American Dream captures his sophisticated melodic sensibility—pristine guitar work, clever layered arrangements, and earnest vocal delivery that echoed the best of Badfinger and early Big Star. Where others chased stadium rock, Rhodes crafted intricate pop songs that proved ambitious songwriting and commercial appeal weren't mutually exclusive. Every track showcases his gift for hooks and arrangement, with a sound that feels both of its era and timeless. This is essential for fans of 70s power pop craft and anyone who appreciates songwriting that rewards close listening.
